A couple of snippets from page 74, titled "Prince vs the King of Pop":

"Prince has always been keen to play down any rivalry between the two. "I could talk to you about Michael Jackson," he told the New Musical Express in 1995, " but I would just be doing the job that a journalist does so there's no point." According to Robin Power, star of Graffiti Bridge, Prince was offered a lucrative licensing deal with Coke shortly after Jackson signed up with Pepsi, but turned it down. " He didn't want to be compared to Jackson," Power told Prince biographer Liz Jones. " He felt he should be compared with Miles [Davis] or [John Coltrane]," Power added, which perhaps gives another reason why he didn't want to appear on 'We Are The World', which Jackson co-wrote.

"The Bad sessions threw up another interesting tale. Jackson had his producer, Quincy Jones, speak to Prince about the possibility of a duet on the album's title track. The plan was for Jackson's management to plant false news stories in the press about a bitter rivalry between the two men leading up to the release of the single- which would serve as a supposed final battle. Problems arose, however, when Prince began to look in detail at the song's lyrics- and the first line, "Your butt in mine", in particular. "Who's singing that to whom?" Prince asked, " cause you sure aren't talking to me." Instead he offered up a reworking of his 1976 song 'Wouldn't You Love To Love Me?' but Jackson rejected it.

Prince= all time pimp, playa, who's music drops panties to no end....

M. Jackson= once the greatest entertainer in the world, who now fucks little boys in Arab countries......and did I mention he's just a little looney...



Prince wins this one by a long shot!

[yureeka9]

Comparing Prince to Michael Jackson is like comparing apples to oranges. I think this whole rivaly thing is conveniant because they're both soft, sensitive black men and the same age with careers spanning the same generations. I don't think there would be much conflict in anyone if you asked them who they liked better. They are either die hard Prince fans or die hard Michael fans.

Blunt, please! How the fuck are you going to compare Prince's idiosyncratic behavior to MJ's? GTFOH! A dude who's funny about his music, God, and sex is as bad as a dude getting up in lil boys' booties?

 

[kwazdog]

prince has more talent than mike.

 

[Blunt]

Blunt, please! How the fuck are you going to compare Prince's idiosyncratic behavior to MJ's?

You don't know the half of his "idiosyncratic behavior." He's done well to keep himself secluded from the public in his "castle," but he's still a wackjob (sexual and otherwise).

GTFOH! A dude who's funny about his music, God, and sex is as bad as a dude getting up in lil boys' booties?

Prince can't compare to Jackson in terms of his level of fame, or in the experience of being a sheltered world celebrity since age 10. And no one ever accused Jackson of getting up in anyone's booty.

You'd think that Jackson's race-altering plastic surgery would be more troubling than anything else. Of course, the part-Italian Prince (who's created fantasies about his ethnicity) didn't have to worry so much about that.

Why the fuck are you quoting that attention whoring homosexual in character? The fag lives for celebrity gossip and being condescending. Wake the fuck up. you've been here long enough to know this.

Oh, those were the Salem Witch trials they had for MJ, because he was doing some magical mystical type shit, and it wasn't for the thing with the lil boys. Okay, gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up.

Prince might be a little weird, but as a kid growing up in the 80's it was easy to see. Princes videos had girls. MJ's videos had Bubbles the Chimp, little kids and shit. I dunno, yeah Prince be on some homo androgenous freaky shit, but he ALWAYS had a gorgeous woman with him. Michael had.....Brooke Shields and Madonna as "dates" and hung out with Webster (Emmanual Lewis) until he kicked him to the curb when he found out he really wasn't a little kid. Yeah, Prince be on some looney tunes shit too, but I think Michael has him beat in the crazy department by a longshot.

 

[jiggylo09]

Prince is a slave to Warner Bros. case close

 

[Blunt]

Michael had.....Brooke Shields and Madonna as "dates" and hung out with Webster (Emmanual Lewis) until he kicked him to the curb when he found out he really wasn't a little kid.

Now why do you have to make shit up in order to make some dumbass point (or joke)? Aren't the real facts enough?

This stuff just exposes the rampant "homosexual panic" of black men, who always miss the "real" gay men who are right under their noses. Prince is WAY more gay (in appearance and presentation, despite the paid video models and actresses) than Michael, and always has been.

 

[EPDC]

Prince was a slave to Warner Bros until his contractual obligations were met. He gained control over his own career and music after.

Fixed.

Okay, at this point, you're just taking the piss now.

 

[Wobble Wobble]

I think I read somewhere that Prince said "and to think they used to say I'd end up in prison".

At least Prince created his own music. Off The Wall, Thriller and most of Bad were Quincy Jones' music.

Exactly.

 

[freakshowjojo]

Bought the book at Barnes and Noble on sale for 12 bucks ,its a velvet purple book and all I can say is Prince is one talented cat but is one major asshole, this book lets off from andre Cymone ,the Time and how he wanted Appalonia not to tell anyone that she was married during Purple Rain, Go get this bOOK while it's 50% OFF. ( look I know this ain't Amazon niggas)

 

[theart0f69]

The song that was mentioned was Bad when Mike says "your butt is mines..." They ended up having Wesley Snipes play the roll that they wanted P to play. And from what I have heard, Prince never offered a song, just a Fucc u and have a nice day!

 

[tfresca]

Prince has a career still he makes records tours, etc.. Michael Jackson does nothing, can't work, touches kids and is by all accounts a junkie addicted to pain meds. There is no rivalry Prince wins game set match.

man, i have read only 80 pages so far, and in those 80 pages, prince has fucked AT THE SAME TIME, susan moonsie (the black chick in vanity 6) before and while he was fucking vanity, jill jones, sheila e and susannah melvoin. he was fucking all of them at the same time. he fucked vanity up in the head so bad that she went to drugs and alcohol because " i wanted Prince for myself." dude was a straight pimp. i always knew he was fucking all of them, but didnt know the pimp was fucking them all whenever he wanted, in their faces.

Not true, Most of MJ's biggest songs were songs created by him. Every song on BAD except 2 were written by MJ too. Billy Jean is written and produced by MJ. Yall dissing MJ cause of his weirdness and his thing for kids. Stick to the music and entertainment and MJ wins. I bet 99% of you either have/had a MJ album or know somebody who has his album, can't say the same for Prince.

Not true, although I owb everything Prince has released and a few he didnt, I think most of us own or have owned Purple Rain, and perhaps Sign O the Times. Oh, lemme not forget 1999.

Another lie, other than Black and White and Smooth Criminal what MJ video had kids, and name one video that had Bubbles. If anything give MJ credit for changing the way video were created. His shits were mini movies that back in the day had world premiers on multi channels. You guys are forgetting how big and how much MJ changed the game. I can name a bunch of artist who were influenced by MJ.

I know everyone is going to have opinions on who they prefer, but Prince is FAR more talented than MJ. Prince plays a whole mess of instruments, writes a ridiculous amount of music/songs and has released music on a regular basis since the 1980's.

Michael on the other hand, though he may have produced some music is no where nearly as gifted as a MUSICIAN as Prince is. His album releases are sporadic and has never grown or evolved with his age and the times.

Michael Jackson is a POP STAR/ENTERTAINER. Prince is a MUSICIAN.

Just my opinion.

Thriller, BAD, or Dangerous I bet has each individually sold more copies than those 3 Prince albums combined.

 

[geist]

They're both fuckin weirdos, but Michael Jackson has Prince beat by a long shot. And Prince has Michael Jackson beat in the talent department by a long shot.

Prince had some kind of spiritual/religious awakening a few years back. A lot of people that were freaks do that. Weird scale=4

Michael just kept doing weirder and weirder shit. Weird scale= 25 on a scale of 10

Prince made/makes good music, makes up his own bands to fit his current style.

Mike fell off steadily after he stopped fuckin with Quincy Jones.

Just cause you sell more albums don't mean shit. Lil' Wayne sold a shit load of albums. Does that make him a more talented and Lyrical MC than Common, Mos Def or Talib Kweli?......Um, No.

I respect that, but just has MJ popularity has faded, the same can be said of Prince. After Purple Rain, what Prince album has been a commercial success. I understand he still does some shows but as far as selling new music he isnt doing anything himself
